Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm acrylic/modacrylic staple exceeds 50% with man-made filaments, avoiding reclassification to 5515.11
• Provide weave construction details (ends/picks per cm, yarn number) in documentation to match 'other' poplin criteria
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as 100% filament, leading to Chapter 54 duties
